The storm season looked to be tame this time of year. For the most part, the Town of Priceville made through unscathed. In the event “The Big One” comes, are you prepared to act? Do you know your shelter is ready for you and your family/friends? Are you able to enter and secure it from the inside? Is it clear for you to enter? It hasn’t become a swimming pool and there aren’t any creatures taking-up shelter. Has it? Do you have the necessary supplies in there (a decent list of storm shelter supplies can be found here)? If you don’t have a storm shelter/safe room of your own, did you know the Priceville Town Hall has a storm shelter in the basement? These are all questions we need to ask.

The last “major” question is, does someone around you (not living with you) know where your storm shelter/safe room is located? Think about that one for a second. What happens if your shelter gets covered by a tree or remnants of a house or car? Does someone know where to look for you? Do you want us to look for you? This is where the Priceville Fire Department has a request. If you could, print and fill out the Microsoft Word document below showing us where your storm shelter/safe room is located on your property. When you are done, please mail it to us at the address below or email it to PricevilleVFD@gmail.com.
